Today In Populism

Chilpancingo (Mexico) (AFP) - Protesters torched part of the government headquarters of Mexico's southern state of Guerrero amid demonstrations demanding the return of 43 students missing since an attack by gang-linked police.

Hundreds of students and teachers ransacked the government complex in the state capital Chilpancingo, allowing workers to leave before breaking windows and setting a building on fire.

The protesters called for Governor Angel Aguirre to resign as they fled the area while flames and plumes of black smoke billowed from the ground floor of a building's broken windows.

Dozens of state police later came in while firefighters battled the blaze. A small truck was set on fire near the complex.

No injuries were immediately reported in the fires. The students later broke into Chilpancingo's city hall and shattered windows.
How dare these savages?
Students from a teacher training college outside Chilpancingo have been fuming over the fate of 43 comrades who vanished after their buses were shot at by municipal police in the city of Iguala on September 26.

Authorities are investigating whether the students were buried in several mass graves found outside Iguala, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of Mexico City. Officials say it will take time for DNA results to be ready.

Prosecutors have detained 26 Iguala police officers in the case, accusing them of colluding with the Guerreros Unidos gang in a night of violence that also left six people dead and 25 wounded.

Four gang members were also arrested along with four other unidentified people.

Witnesses say they saw several students whisked away in police cars that night.

The city's mayor, his wife and the police chief are wanted for questioning but have gone into hiding.
Oh. Never mind then. Carry on, & kill cops for peace.
